The view is absolutely spectacular every minute of the day and the staff were super friendly and obliging in every way. Yana greeted us on a very busy day with a genuine smile, a cold drink and lots of ideas for us to do during our stay. Panos entertained us with his stories over a glass of wine or ouzo at sunset and this became a nightly ritual-sometimes we even shared meals together with Yana and Panos when everything was quiet for the night. These personal touches made our stay here very memorable!
The airconditioned rooms at Casa Florina were very clean and spacious with plenty of fresh towels for the bathroom or the sunbeds and plunge pool. Some rooms are upstairs with private balconies, others are at ground level with a tables and chairs on the terrace. Plus there's the lovely big communal balcony with single and double sun lounges and tables and chairs to sunbake, take breakfast or enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
The rooms had comfortable beds with wardrobes, sink, fridge and sofa, but the showers were a bit disappointing. Outdoor areas were always cleaned and easy to move around without guests or staff crowding each other.
The location is central to the bus stop and main area of Imerovigli and nice and high for the wonderful views, so uphill walking isn't required unless you choose to go downhill first. Skaros is the big rock immediately in front and that's worth the climb for those who are somewhat energetic. There's also the short walk to Fira or a long trek to Oia
